Transfer Rate To ATV Drops

When I first power up my AppleTV the wireless transfer rate shown in the Airport Utility is 270 Mbps. The rate stays at 270 for a few hours to a few days and then drops to as low as 14 Mbps. If I unplug the AppleTV and plug it back in the rate jumps back up to 270. If it were not for the fact that I observe a significant difference in HD trailer download times I might think the Airport Utility is reporting bogus transfer rates. Are the transfer rates reported by Airport Utility nonsense? Is there a problem with my AppleTV? Both? What kind of transfer rate can I really expect? Thanks.

Make sure its 2.0
USB 2.0 is about 20x faster than USB 1.1
If it is 2.0 there is no reason why it should be slow.

  • Gigabit ethernet + TC doesn't mean gigabit transfer rates to the TC drive..

    Alright.... I've spent a ton of time trying to figure this out (probably more than I should have) and I thought I'd post my findings so that either a) I'll save someone else time out there or b) someone can tell me I'm a complete moron
    So I had an airport extreme. I replaced it with a Time Capsule. I have a Windows (boooo) PC connecting directly to my TC using a gigabit ethernet card (which I bought specifically connect it to the TC) so (I thought) I could enjoy gigabit transfer speeds to the internal hard drive from the wired PC. I had some fun plans of shoving my itunes directory on the TC and letting appletv sync (yes through my pc) and keeping lots of videos there, etc. Who cares - it'd be at gigabit speeds! But, in reality, things didn't quite work that way (though my itunes directory does still live on my TC...for now).
    Well, I had a semi-unique situation to do some pretty massive testing because I have 2 gigabit network cards, 1 100mb network card, and a wireless-n network card and two internal hard drives - both very fast. I also tried Cat 5, Cat 5e, and a Cat 6 cable.
    And here's what I (think I) figured out:
    The hard drive in TC can not achieve gigabit transfer speeds. Your transfer rates will be limited by the IO to the hard drive. In fact, it can't even come close.
    Using my "fastest" setup - so Cat 6, fastest internal drive, gigabit ethernet, and transferring a file exactly 1 gig in size I was able to have a sustained transfer rate of 140 megabit per second - that's 17.4 MB/s for folks not wanting to do the math (that's reading FROM the TC. Writing TO the TC dropped the speed down to 106 megabit/second or 13.35 MB/s). Going to a 5e cable knocked that down to 130 megabit a second. Putting in a Cat 5 cable knocked me down to 110 megabit a second. Switching between my two gigabit network cards did nothing. Switching my cards between two computers did nothing.
    Now, just changing the above setup to use my 100Mb network card resulted in these results: 67 megabit read (8.4MB/s) and 65 megabit write (8MB/s)...
    And using wireless N, I got about 10MB/s up and down.
    And just as a final test, connecting my two computers together using the 2 gigabit network cards through the TC, I was able to achieve standard gigabit speeds.
    SO what does this all mean?
    I think the IO to the hard drive in the TC can only read at about 140 megabit/s and write at about 110 megabit/s. I'm not sure if it's the HD itself or how it's connecting to the TC - but that's why I'm not aware of anyone getting faster transfer rates to the drive in the TC (maybe you guys are?). The gigabit ports themselves are fine - and if you're doing anything from one gigabit port to another gigabit port you'll be fine.
    So stop beating yourself up trying to find some elusive XP specific issue with gigabit transfer rates (though vista had a problem - shocker), or that you must have a defective gigabit card (which is why I have two cards now instead of one :)), or that your cable must be bad ("maybe my cat 5e isn't good enough?")... it's just this drive ... or how the drive is connecting to the network - can't handle the gigabit speeds.
    Unless someone else out there has another explanation? Do these speeds mesh with what you're seeing in "optimal" situations? Or maybe there's just a throttle switch for goobers like me using Windows instead of MacOS!

    Hi,
    the interfaces available today which connect your drives integrated electronics to your computer can handle that speeds. but the drive itself is limited by the mechanical things going on in there
    You can get such transfer speeds if the data you request is in the cache of the drives internal electronics for example. Some drives have 8 MB of cache memory. So if you request to read or write less than 8 mb and (in the read case) you are lucky enough to have those few megabytes cached then you may get that performance

  • How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?

    I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
    The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
    For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
    Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!

    Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
    These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
    FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
    FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
    This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
    You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
    And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
    Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
    Thank you!

  • Installed SSD but data transfer rates at 8mb/s and unresponsive

    Sigh, just installed the Crucial m500 480gb SSD in my macbook pro 17" early 2011. Everything seemed well on bootup and the SSD is detected and formatted successfully. But when I run CCC, it took 2hrs to transfer 2gb.
    After stopping the cloning, the SSD became unresponsive. Even disk utility crashed and cldn't start up. I had to reboot.
    Then I tried manually coping a 10gb file from my existing HDD to the SSD, it started at rates of 8mb/s then dropped. It wld stop for awhile (20-30s) and continue. All the while, transfer rates keep dropping till 2-3mb/s. I stopped the transfer halfway as it was taking so long. Then the SSD became unresponsive again.
    Is it safe to say that there is a problem with the SSD??
    Argggg. Tks.

    You might want to contact Crucial support - make sure you have the latest firmware for it too (although no available updates are listed on the Crucial site).

  • Hanging iMac, slow transfer rates

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing two problems with my iMac which I think are probably linked as they began around the same time. I've scoured these forums and several other websites for answers but I haven't found many people whose problems sound exactly like mine.
    My iMac was running Tiger up until around a year and a half ago. I then upgraded to Leopard without any issues, and everything ran smoothly. About a year ago I began to experience some strange behaviour - Flash would repeatedly crash, my mouse seemed unresponsive, and the system began to hang as though it was having trouble processing things. I reinstalled Leopard and things seemed ok, though the hanging remained (at this stage it was just the umbrella spinning and things taking longer to load). I upgraded to Snow Leopard hoping this would fix the issue when it came out and things got incredibly bad. Starting up and loading to the desktop took upwards of twenty minutes!! Doing ANYTHING seemed to be a massive strain on the system. I'd literally have to spend an hour or so monitoring it just to check my email and shut down in the correct way. Additionally the USB transfer speed, and download speed, had dropped to the point where a 20mb file had an estimated time of 2 hours to or transfer from my external hard drive. Internet downloads were similar.
    After as many tests as I could manage I thought it might be RAM related, and upgraded to 3gig. It had no noticeable effect. Recently, whilst trying to solve the problem, I gritted my teeth and backed everything up. I wiped the system entirely, and tried a clean install of Leopard (the last functioning OS I had). It worked, in so far as the catastrophically slow behaviour stopped, but I'm STILL left with the slow transfer speeds, and the hanging. I've since re-upgraded to Snow Leopard, and this time it functions in the exact same way as Leopard.
    To describe the problem in detail: Every few seconds - the time between varies from 2s - a minute - the system stops responding for a seemingly arbitrary amount of time. Often the umbrella appears. However, when it appears frozen the dock usually responds without any issues (though is entirely impotent as I can't open anything, including Finder) and if I'm typing then when it returns to my control anything I typed will usually appear. My USB transfer rates remain, even when there's no issue, extremely low. Same with downloads. The most bizarre thing for me is that during the times the system is responding (during which is can often manage multiple tasks without any complaint) it moves and respons in an incredibly speedy, efficient way - as though the RAM upgrade has really helped.
    I've tried repairing disk permissions, checking activity monitor to see what may be a strain on the system (everything looks entirely normal), I've run several diagnostics (including tests on the new RAM and the old RAM and on the external hard drives), defragged, turned out absolutely EVERYTHING unnecessary... Nothing I do seems to have any effect on this behaviour! Does anyone have ANY ideas? It's going to be a real pain to get it to an Apple store.
    Edit: The reinstallation of an OS, or wiping of the hard drive took between 18 and 24 hours a time, despite it usually showing a countdown from 30 minutes the whole time.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Have you tried booting from the Snow Leopard disk, running Disk Utility and checking the startup disk for errors? If not...
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space
    If the startup disk appears to be ok and there's enough free disk space, try running the Apple Hardware Test
    If the AHT doesn't report any problems...
    experience some strange behaviour - Flash would repeatedly crash
    Try uninstalling the reinstalling a new copy of flash then repair disk permissions.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install Flash

  • Super slow USB stick transfer rate. 2 Gigs in 2 hours ?

    How can i speed up my USB memory stick transfer rate.
    I'm using 2.4 GHz intel core i5 with 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Yet my 1 GHz windows laptop is much faster in copying files for the same memory stick.
    How can i fix this?

    You will not be able to use it on the Windows box if you change the formatting. But then you can buy another flash drive for Windows since they are cheap.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Slow transfer rate over wireless

    Hi. My transfer rate (of local files) is really poor over wireless, like 500mb is taking 2 hours. Here is my setup... Powerbook to billion router (via wireless), billion to PC via ethernet cable, second ethernet card on pc to cable modem. I used to have this all hardwired (powerbook to PC by ethernet) but recently introduced the router so I can work in another room. My wireless signal is always strong and doesn't seem to be dropping. If I download a file from the internet its ok, i'm averaging 900kb/s so the data transfer doesn't seem to be dropping or lagging when routing through from the internet. The problem seems to be with local transfers to my mac from the PC drive and the external USB drive connected to the PC. Its just weird that internet throughput is ok. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    i've got some more info. I got a wireless card for the pc and connected via my airport card so i'm no longer using the router. I'm still getting the same thing - internet traffic ok on pc and mac via the pc, but file transfers locking between the two machines. I started thinking the disk on the pc might be damaged but the pc tansfers fine to the USB hard drive attached to it. Transfers are still locking up between usb drive and mac. its really weird. I've eliminated hardware such as the router, disks, and comms in the sense of internet throughput is ok. i've also formatted the pc and reinstalled xp so should I now be looking at config of xp or mac? thanks

  • Terrible Transfer Rate

    Hello All:
    Looking for some help. Network segmented into 1x and 2x ...with a 3620 router doing the routing in the middle. 1x and 2x both on their own switches...all is fine.
    Just added a 3x segment and firewall and the transfer rate to and from this 3x from anywhere is horrific. 50 minutes for a 100mb file to or from 1x or 2x using a windows machine. Only 29 seconds for the same file using a linux machine (not great but a huge difference)
    I have posted my config below but in a nutshell, I have FA0/0 on router 10.0.3.2 going into 3x switch along with the LAN port of the firewall 10.0.3.1.
    Clients using 10.0.3.1 as gateway and this routes out to internet over a 3660.
    No dropped packets on the router or switch....only 11 packets a sec rate on the router. No matter how I set port settings on any device...mix and match these settings, it is still the same. Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on??
    Thanks

    All - Thanks to Kevin's post, I have stumbled onto something....what I don't exactly know.
    In my testing, I was FTPing from my linux box on 3x to my server on 1x...transfer rate was ok, 19 seconds for 100 mb. With my windows box on 3x, I was mapping a drive and copy/paste from 1x to 3x. That was the difference.....but WHY? I need to resolve this piece of the puzzle since I need the ability naturally, to drag and drop between 3x and 1x.
    Why the difference between FTP and transferring with copy paste??
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Low transfer rate with NAT/Duplex/Speed settings

    Hi all, I'm having this problem and I cannot find any bug or TAC case in the collection. I'm using PAT between two ethernet interfaces on a c3745 or c3845(I tried both in a lab).
    If I keep the duplex and speed negociation to auto, everything works fine and it autonegotiates to full/100, but as soon as I force the duplex to full and speed to 100, the transfer rate of my FTP drops considerably. When I change the speed back to auto everything goes back to normal. I've tried the latest IOS but the problem persist.
    Anyone experienced the same problem? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mariano

    Fixing speed and duplex must be done on both sides. If one end remains in auto-mode the connection will default to half duplex.
    This will result in a duplex mismatch between the devices.

  • Transfer rate between PC and Mac painfully slow! Linksys WRT150N

    Hey everyone, I have my new Macbook Pro wirelessly connected to my Linksys WRT150N, while my PC (running Windows XP SP3) is connected through wired.
    I originally had dd-wrt on the router, but took it off due to the signal would randomly drop. Now that I have the original firmware back installed, the transfer rate is painfully slow. Just trying to transfer any type of media it goes about a MB per min.
    Is there anything I can try to change on my Mac or my router?

    This is what you are after I think....

    I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
    So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
    Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
    1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
    2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
    I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

  • KT3 Ultra ARU Slow HD Transfer Rates

    Hello,
    First, please see my system information at the bottom of this message.
    I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU motherboard and have installed a Maxtor ATA133 60GB hard drive with 2 MB cache.  The hard drive is jumpered as Master and is connected all by itself on the IDE1 ribbon cable.  On IDE2 I have a CDRW (Master) and a CD-ROM (Slave).  My other hard drive (WD 120GB ATA100 8 MB cache) is on IDE3 and is set up in RAID 1+0 stripe.
    I recently ran the Sandra file system benchmark on my hard drives with what I think are very discouraging results.  My Maxtor drive on IDE1 scored 32 MB/s and my WD drive on IDE3 came in at 23 MB/s.  Those are some stinky results aren’t they?
    I checked my Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers and it indicates that for my Primary IDE Channel the current transfer mode for device 0 is Ultra DMA Mode 6.  I don’t know how to check the transfer mode on my IDE3 hard drive.
    Question #1:  Are my 32 MB/s and 23 MB/s results slow for my hardware?
    Question #2:  If these results are slow, how can I increase the transfer rates?
    Please help! 
    Thank you!!!!
    My System
    AMD Athlon XP 3000+

    These tranfer rates seem fine for sequential read rates. The maxtor drive is at mode 6 and the WD should be at mode 5 if its ATA100.

  • Determining Data transfer rate through modem in java

    Hi,
    I want to write an application in java which will communicate with
    connected modem of the system and it will detect the data transfer rate.
    I want to know how much data is transferring(upload/download)through modem and in a specific time how much data is transferred.
    I will give some max upload/downloading limit for a specific time and if data transfer exceeds that limit,it will show message.
    e.g if i fix max upload/download data transfer limit by the modem is say 10GB/20GB for a specific time span say for 15 days.Then my program automatically will start when the Modem will be connected and keep a log of data transfer(upload/download)and if data transfer goes beyond limit then it will show message.Also i would be able to see how much data is transferred for any specific day.
    I want to know this type of application is possible in java.If yes then
    which API's i need to use.
    If this type of program is available in some site in other language then also i will be helpful.Pl give the links.

    Hi,
    i want to do it in java only to explore the power of
    java.I agree with Abuse, Java is not designed for such applications. I'm not even sure if you can solve your problems with Java.

  • What is max internal hard drive transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro?

    In attempt to upgrade my mid-2007 MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo), I bought a Seagate 750GB listed as compatible with my computer on MacSales.com . . .
    Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive
    Installation appeared to go well and I ran an extended hardware test with no issues found.  However, the drive is listed at 5.46 TB (would be nice) and I get an input/output error when attempting to partition.  I can initiate an erase, but after the time I would suspect it would take to erase the drive, I get an input/output error - it seems to appear after the first 750 GB of the '5.5 TB' was erased.  At all times, the drive is not recognized when I attempt to install OS X from original discs.
    I suspect the 6.0 GB/s transfer capacity of the hard drive is not compatible with the MacBook Pro.  The drive came with 4 jumper pins but no jumper and no label diagram to set a slower transfer rate.  I called Seagate, Newegg, OWC, and Apple, but no one has compatibility info for my MacBook Pro.  To them, it appears I am running the first tests of this new technology with an 'older' MacBook Pro.
    My MBP has had no issues - I'd like to keep her going with the optimum internal hard drive capacity, but don't necessarily want to set up a test bench in my house (though my kids would enjoy destroying it) and pay several shipping and restocking fees to test new hard drives.
    The original drive had a 1.5 GB/s transfer rate.  Does anyone know the maximum transfer rate compatible with a 2007 MacBook Pro?  3.0 GB/s?  1.5 GB/s?  Thank you.

    No spinning hard drive will transfer data faster then 60-80MB a second. The XT models have a flash storage area that is used when reading and writing data that can make it Appear faster in some situations. That flash memory if only 8 or 16GBs in side, I forget which one.
    The drie is rated to work on 6GB SATA bus but it certainly can not transfer data that fast. It should be backword compatible to work on slower buses.
    Your drive is 750GBs in size. Not wure where you are getting this 5.5TB (that is 5.5 Tera Bytes which is 5500 Giga Bytes. Your drive is under 1TB)
    What are you using to partition the drive? Disk Utilities from the original install DVD?
    You need to install on your old drive, Update it from the Apple Website then clone it to the new drive. The version of OSX you are using may not function correctly with that large of a drive. Or get yourself a copy of Snow Leopard, retail disk for $29 from Apple, and do all the partitioning and installing with that version od OSX.

  • How can I check the data transfer rate of my FW800 port

    I have an iMac 2.4 20 inch (MB323LL/A) with a Lacie external rugged hard drive (320 GB). I have attached it using my FW800 port with the cable supplied with the drive.
    It seems slow to me so I was wondering if there is any way to see what the current data transfer is for a backup in progress. Of course it should be 800Mbps but is it really moving at that speed ? How can I tell what speed it is transferring at ? Can I use the same method for USB ports too ?

    When you move a large file, you are more likely to see a sustained transfer rate than a small file. Small files have to be individually read/write back and forth, thus slows the actual transfer rate down. If you are moving any file up to 4 GB and probably over 1 MB you'll see more realistic transfer rates. Furthermore your hard drive access time, and RPM figures into the equation too, as well as how much RAM you have. 800Mbps works out to 100 Megabytes per second under ideal conditions.
